Everything before this went down lol.
@TMLSage has some issues with Blues winning a cup, and wants to get a player that’s close to home. Hoping Pietrangelo would give Toronto a blowjob on a contract which isn’t going to happen. He says that Toronto has the best Young Core in the NHL, I was going to say something else about that one but I digress. He said Blues was a fluke Stanley cup, we have more Playoff Rounds won this year than Toronto has in 20, We have had a better Record in the past 34/54 seasons. Blues have missed playoffs 9 times ever. Toronto can’t even deal with Boston and if they had to go against them again the same result is going to occur. You have a kid telling everyone Toronto is the best team because he has the 13-year-old heart of passion for his team, but to no avail he can’t back it up with anything.
I think you need to face reality and brace yourself that Pietrangelo is going to test the UFA market and anything can happen and that the Leafs do have the resources and capspace to sign him by making a few additional moves to free up additional salary if necessary. I know he is probably your favourite player and appreciate your loyality for the player and team.
You have Alex Pietrangelo who won’t take anything less than 9M, and you think he will take a discount because he was born there. Problem is Pietrangelo has been here the past 12 years, his wife wants to stay in St.Louis, he is a captain here, he has a stronger core here than Toronto don’t pull the wool over your eyes Parayko, Pietrangelo, Dunn, Gunnarsson, Bortuzzo, Faulk (Given he is a little ass but he still does decent), Mikkola as our defensive core. We have a better Goalie in Binnington than Andersen you want to “downgrade” your goalie thinking downgrading your defense is better when you have offense. You have a younger core sure, but younger core can’t beat experience, and when your offense is screwed your defense won’t be able to help you.
I think Delusional is a stronger word for it, but it’s more he wants to start something here is a little saying out wishes in one hand and crap in the other see which one gets filled first. Crap for Toronto.
